Dale Carnegie's Guide to Overcoming Worry and Achieving a Fulfilling Life

Volasas89: This is not a typical cover to cover book! This book should be read in the same manner as The Bible or Quran. Since, it is a guidebook, where the author gives advice how to conquer worry! The main points, that I got from the book, at least in my opinion are these:
1) Make the best situation out of any situation, even if it is the worst case.
2) Accept the events that already happened, and do not delve on them.
3) Accept the worst case scenario in every situation, even if it will not happen, accept it.
4) Deal with the problems on the importance order.

Definitely, it is a good read! Of course, some chapters were dull, and had to be re-read to get the point cross. Still, if anyone needs to start living without worries, I would recommend to read this book.
The book, that I have purchased, was a used paperback edition from middle 2000s. It was in good condition, not torn or wrinkled.

Placeholder: "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living" is a self-help book by Dale Carnegie, first published in 1948. This timeless classic offers practical advice and strategies for managing stress, overcoming anxiety, and cultivating a more positive and fulfilling life. The book is divided into several sections, each focusing on different aspects of worry and providing actionable techniques for coping with life's challenges.

Carnegie's insightful guidance emphasizes the importance of living in the present moment and cultivating a proactive mindset to address concerns and anxieties effectively. He offers real-life examples and anecdotes that illustrate how individuals can transform their thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce worry and embrace a more optimistic outlook on life.

One of the key messages of the book is the power of taking constructive action to address concerns rather than allowing worries to paralyze or overwhelm. Carnegie provides practical steps for breaking down problems into manageable tasks, developing a sense of perspective, and fostering resilience in the face of adversity. He also emphasizes the significance of maintaining a healthy work-life balance and...

Billy: I bought two copies for my new salespeople, and think this should be required reading. No book has ever done more for me in my life or professional career.

Tiffany Rae: I am the world's worst "what iffer" and I'm always worrying about both the past and future. I was recommended this book and several others chimed in and said it was life changing for them. It is packed with real life examples showing how people applied the many, many principles inside. I have dog earred the heck out of it.

Gabby Hayze: People may pass this book by because it was originally written in the 1940s. Do not let that fool you. Anxiety, depression and worry have existed all through time and the pointers in this book remain relevant.

Many of the things discussed have been repackaged by modern society, but this book gives numerous ways to rewire your brain. There’s religious options, journaling options, meditation options, and things to say to yourself to snap your self out of rumination.

Since I started reading this book I found that I’m calmer and deal with things easier. I move on after big decisions (something I never did). I rarely notate books but this one is littered with highlights so I can go back and remind myself how to handle myself better.

If you struggle, please give this book a try.

Michael Abramovitch: One of my biggest problems with this book is that I didn't really need it in the first place. I don't worry very much, at least not in the sense that this book addresses. This book is for people who are paralyzed by fear, either due to a destructive mental attitude or some unintended external factors. Since I am generally confident in myself, am mostly concerned with school or other work that I am intrinsically motivated to handle, and have thankfully never had to deal with anything I would call a real tragedy or highly traumatic experience, I don't find myself in the desperate situations that plague the many subjects of "How to Stop Worrying". Similarly, most of the advice on "How to break the Worry Habit Before it Breaks You" (Part 3 of the book) is not particularly useful for me.

That being said, for people who do need to stop worrying (as I wish my parents would), Carnegie's advice is mostly sound. True, it's nothing we all haven't heard before (e.g. "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade"; "count your blessings"; etc.), but it's nevertheless worth internalizing and practicing in our daily lives. Some of Carnegie's tips are more practical. When you're faced with a...
